Consent not to publish a code of practice

We consent to the holders of statements of national regulatory provisions (SNRPs) listed below not publishing a code of practice or other documents under paragraph 6 of condition 4 of the SNRPs, because these are dormant operators to be used only in the event that Transport Scotland needs to take over the operations of a franchised train operator.

| Name | Date and number | Name holder | Date and number | |---------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------| | SOLR 1 Ltd | 10 Oct 07 | SOLR 2 Ltd | 10 Oct 07 | | | UK02 2007 0006 | | UK02 2007 0007 |

In the event that either of these operators becomes active, this consent will expire for that operator’s SNRP.
